VARIETY OF PRODUCTS,
Although oil wells represent practically un limited wealth, their value was almost totally unknown little more than half a century ago. This is all the more remarkable when regard is had to the fact that the existence of oil itself has been known to civilisating since the He alotus wrote of the dawn of history.

When drilling for brine near Burkesville, Cumberland County, Kentucky, in 1819, a prodigious dow of petroleum resulted. and it is interesting to note that this was, te- garded as a wonderful natural phenomenon. The estimated yield of this well up in 1890 w 50,000 barrels: a small quantity was bellied and sold for medicinal purposes, but the re- mainder was entirely wasted. The origin of this liquid is involved in even great robscurity than that of coal, as, unlike the, latter, it has noʻ organic structure. Dating the paki half-century this has formed the subject of deep speculation by scientists, but the accepted conclusion that the origin is organic is purely based upon | circumstantial evidence, Crude petroleum is refined by distillation, and the vasinias commer cial products obtained by this process include naphtha, benzine, kerosene, lubricating oils, vaseline, and paraffin wax. A similarity existe between them chemically, as they all consist of hydrogen and carbon-hydrocarbons-bat they differ in other respects to an inordinate degree.
